Small Sum of Money.
ST. PAUL, Sept. l4.-Jacob Kuhn, en-
ployed on the farm of Ex-County Com
missioner Hazard, at Hamline, be-

found dying in his bed early this morn

boring farmer made the horrible discov-
cry. Kuhn is supposed to have been
killed for small sum of money in his
possession, which is missing. He was
q years old. No clue yet.

There are likely several others who
lost something, whose names we have
not learned.
The insurance was light on most of
the buildings and stock. We under
stand that Marston & Larson are in
sured for $4,000. The insurance policy
held by Cray upon his law books had
expired day or two ago. One or two
similar cases are reported.
The buildings adjoining the burned
district were only saved by great exer-
tons. L. o. Hunts large barn, contain
ing valuable horses, narrowly ESCAPED
destruction. The Cakes house was
saved with difficulty.
Two years ago the opposite side of the
street to that which was burned this
morning was swept by the relentless
flames. The town has been quite un-
lucky in the matter of fires. Composed
mostly of frame structures the blocks
have been an easy prey to fire.

WILL BE REBUILT.

This fire is one of the worst that has
ever visited any town in Southern Min
nesota. Though it is great blow to
Lake Crystal, still its effects will prove
but temporary, and new business blocks
will in the near future rise, phoenix like,
from the ashes of the old. The indomI-
table pluck and enterprise that has al
WAYS characterized the inhabitants of
Lake Crystal will carry them through
this most trying ordeal in the his
tory of the village. We are
informed that Marston & Larson will inn
mediately rebuild and no doubt others
will follow suit. 1t is safe to say that
no very distant day will see the entire
block rebuilt in much better style,

WAS IT INCENDIARY?

Some of the parties first upon
the scene of the fire when the
alarm was given claim that the fire
started in several buildings at once.
Though there is no direct evidence to
prove it, nevertheless it is generally
considered that the fire was of no acct
dental origin but was started by some
fiend in human shape. This theory is
quite general. Should this prove to be
the case and the villain be apprehended
it is safe to cay that swift justice will be
melted out to him as he deserves.

try, was seriously hurt Driving along
Ross avenue his team became fright
ened, and fearing a runaway jumped
out of the wagon and seized one of
the horses by the bride bit. but the
horse reared and struck Mr.. Powers
OIL the back. which threw him to the
ground. The horses then started on
the run, the wagon passing over his
body. He was unconscious, and in
that condition was carried to private
residence and DR.. McCarty was called,
who did for the unfortunate man all
he could, but could not determine the
extent Of his injuries, but thought
they were very serious.

New Thought for tho New Year.

The new year ought to mean new thought
II the Old has been oppressive The new
years resolve has something of the divinity
in it, early and often rs it is broken. Even
the resolve TO. break Off some old habit is a
stride forward, step upward. Every re-
form, every uphuilding must have its origin
in new thought. A thought lies behind
every action
In making new resolves, nothing is moro
necessary than 10 cultivate the art OF forget
ting. The reason some people are chronically
wretche1 is because, If they had sorrow, a
burden or disgrace, they are forever think
ing about it, and so forever remaining con-
scious of it. They carry it in their mind,
which is really keeping it alive all the time.
Did they but know it, the world would soon
forget it If they would allow it to. If they
would throw il out of their mind and compel
it to stay out it would cease TO exist. No hui
man soul over grew upward who nursed his
former blunders, failures and sins in his
mind.
allow can | forget my woesp says one.
"Thcy inhabit my mind incessantly, and
can't get a minutes respite from their tor
ture." Yes, you can. Bring into your mind
new fresh good thought and the old, OPP
pressive, soul destroying kind will leave, be-
cause it VIII not feel at home with the new.
When vow li~ht IN room Won don't first try
to drive the dark out. You make n light
and, 10! the dark Is gone. IL cannot stay
where light IS 1t is the very Same with de-
spondent and destructive thought--.it leaves

'or it to Turk in.
Thought is something more than "airy
nothings of the BRAIN IL Is substance, the
finest substance in the universe, the invisible
motor of mankind, mentally and physically,
for it is behind every movement, every
action. Preptice Milford says:
ITO learn 20 forget is as necessary and use
ful as to learn to remember. We think OF
many things every day which it would be
more profitable not TO think of at all. To DO
able TO forget is to DO able to drive away the
unseen force thought which is injuring us,
and change It for force Tor order of thought)
to benefltus. To-day thousands on thousands
never think Of controlling the character Of
their thought. They allow their minds TO
drift They never say of a thought that is
troubling them, Il won't think of it, I'M
consciously, then, they demand what works
them i'll, and their bodies are made sick by
tho kind of thought which they allow their
minds to fasten On, An ugly or melancholy
mood of mind Is devil II can make us sick,
lose us friends and lose us money"
So tho resolves that abound on New Years
morning are wise and well They are the be-
ginning of good action. They may fall into
ruins before the day is out, but having once
entered the mind they will come back again
